Paul's following


It used to be that St.Paul was someone who young people looked up to and followed. Of course most of those young people were Baptised Catholics. Now there's a new Paul on the scene who seems to be attracting youthful voters.

His name is Ron Paul and he's running for President of the United States on the Republican ticket. His picture is small because he has a small following.

He seems to upset the main players in his party, so of course that makes me want to know how he rolls.

The Libertarian Party was formed in 1971 and if you are interested in learning more just click on the following

The idea that someone wants a strict interpretation of the Constitution is interesting but of course there is so much in present day society that the forefathers could never have imagined but the principles and goals are still the backbone of our system.

As I study the principles of Libertarian and review the Democratic and Republican platforms it seems that the country might be ready for a COMBO PARTY.

IN FACT....LET'S CALL IT THE

COMBONIC PARTY

Why are so many countries in the world able to offer health care for all citizens?

Why can't it work here in America?

The obvious answer is that it would limit the amount of money that Doctor's could make and therefore it would reduce the quality of care...because Doctor's would become something else instead of Doctors.

I find it hard to believe that people who are interested in becoming Doctors will suddenly decide to be Accountants or Lawyers.

The amount of money we seem to be spending on the FREEDOM HIGHWAY MARCH would take care of a lot of domestic issues....and where is that money coming from? The joke is that the government just prints it as George asks for it...and maybe that's not such a joke.

But if we don't care about deficit spending and balanced budgets, then why can't we just print some for Health Care issues??????

I'm thinking that civil liberties need to be addressed and Libertarians definitely agree. I'm not quite sure that they have an answer for how to pay for the infrastructure of government services because basically they don't seem to think their should be government services.

I, for one, am not about to let multi-national conglomerates determine what is good for the environment or what the prices of food and drugs should be... It seems that price regulations are important but of course when one views the current oil situation one can conclude that price regulations might have died with the Roosevelt administration.

I honestly can't support a Ron Paul for President of the United States but I'm so interested in what he has to say...because after every candidate uses the word "CHANGE" like it's water from the ocean...he truly does represent the only real change in the race.

Of course the American public doesn't really want change...they just want the people in charge to do a better job with the current system....

....and they don't want the people in power creating avenues that aren't on the road map.

Change is a word that we all will be sick of by November.

I just want one change.....and that change is in the White House and really, I think that having Dick Cheney gone will do wonders for the psyche of the country. I'm already feeling a little better just knowing he will be history by the end of this year.

There's nothing we can do to change history and the Real Dick will prove to be a thorn in our remembrances for a very long time.

Just like the First Dick that left the White House on a rail.....the Real Dick will not be highly regarded when historians start truly dissecting the Bush Administration.

Ron Paul on the other hand might be someone that gains repsect and admiration in the future.

I do know that Ron Paul should not go hunting with Dick Cheney.

Just a suggestion Mr. Paul.
